So, this is not the same as that other Google-funded X-Prize lunar landing?

And, didn't NASA or one of their contractors attempt this with the McDonnell Douglas DC-X? The vertical take-off and landing rocket that failed during landing on one of the tests. So, that got scrapped immediately.

Hopefully private firms can do something better.
